...NWS Damage Survey for 03/11/2026 Tornado Event Update #1...

.Update...The National Weather Service in Mobile has completed
analysis of high resolution satellite imagery and radar imagery 
for the tornado outbreak late on the evening of March 11th into 
the early morning hours of March 12th. The satellite analysis 
revealed an additional 7 EF0 tornadoes occurred across southeast 
Mississippi into southwest Alabama. The Pleasant Grove 3 EF1 
tornado was also found to have began slightly earlier which is 
reflected in this update. No additional ground or satellite 
surveys are planned for this event.

.Pleasant Grove 3...

Rating:                 EF1
Estimated Peak Wind:    95 mph
Path Length /statute/:  0.94 miles
Path Width /maximum/:   50 yards
Fatalities:             0
Injuries:               0

Start Date:             03/11/2026
Start Time:             09:50 PM CDT
Start Location:         2 SSE Lightsey / Wayne County / MS

End Date:               03/11/2026
End Time:               09:51 PM CDT
End Location:           2 SE Lightsey / Wayne County / MS
End Lat/Lon:            31.7113 / -88.904

Survey Summary:
This is the third of three EF1 tornadoes within the Pleasant
Grove area, with these final two tornadoes featuring a unique
interaction as they continued to the east. This southernmost
tornado began southwest of Old Highway 84 Loop causing minor
sporadic tree damage. The tornado intensified to EF1 intensity as
it began to cause more significant tree damage visible via
Sentinel 2 satellite imagery southwest of Daniel Roney Drive. The
tornado merged into the northern tornado path along Daniel Roney
Drive. Due to uncertainty on which tornado remained dominant
towards the northeast, this tornado track is estimated to have
ended just after crossing Daniel Roney Road as it turned
northward into the other tornado track. The peak width is also
estimated at approximately 50 yards based on the damage corridor
southwest of Daneil Roney Drive.After review of available high
resolution Planet satellite imagery, it was determined the
tornado began slightly earlier just off of Highway 84 where minor
tree damage was observed in a persistent, narrow path that
continued northeast into Old Highway 84 Loop.

Available high resolution satellite imagery was able to reveal an
EF0 tornado tracked north of Interstate 10 near Grand Bay. The
tornado began north of Pascagoula Road solely in forest causing
minor tree damage. While there is a gap in visible damage on
satellite imagery, radar tornado debris signature persists east
connecting with another small corridor of tree damage near Ramsey
Road and Boe Road. This is where the end point of the tornado is
estimated as any visible damage associated with the radar
signature disappears after reaching I-10.
